Lappin Arrives, Chaos Ensues
David Lappin had just sat down and the dealer asked him to post his big blind, which he did. There was an open and then a three-bet before the action was halted and confusion reigned. It turned out that it wasn’t clear where exactly the button should have been and Lappin appeared to be under the gun with chips in and substantial action behind him.
The floor was called and the initial ruling was that Lappin’s chips would stay in. “That’s not possible. This is ridiculous.” was Lappin’s considered verdict as he had done what the dealer told him to do, and he wanted another ruling as he was entitled to.
Luca arrived to sort things out and Lappin, spotting him, got ready to muck his cards joking, “I already know the ruling is going against me.”
Luca then established where the dealer had dealt the first card and ruled that the button should be moved and Lappin would indeed be the big blind and the action as it had so far happened would stand. Lappin mucked, the initial raiser mucked and the three-bettor looked somewhat pained to win the hand and showed his .
“It’s a random game.” Luca told him. Sometimes it really is.
